| | Money - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This characteristic allows money to be a standard of deferred payment, i.e., a tool for the payment of debt. | | | Money is one of the most central topics studied in economics and forms its most cogent link to finance. | | | When using money substitutes in such a way as to leave a financial record of the transaction, the most common methods are checks, debit cards, credit cards, and electronic money. |

| | Money Supply, by Anna J. Schwartz: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics: Library of Economics and Liberty |
| | On June 30, 1990, the money supply, measured as the sum of currency and checking account deposits, totaled $809 billion. | | | According to this view a decline in the money supply is a response to a decline in people's demand to hold it, not an independent action by suppliers to reduce the quantity of money. | | | Since 1914 an actual decline of the money supply has occurred during only three business cycle contractions, each of which was severe as judged by the decline in output and rise in unemployment: 1920 to 1921, 1929 to 1933, 1937 to 1938. |

| | Money Supply |
| | A decrease in money supply or a decrease in the growth of money supply, results in decreased spending because there is less money in the hands of consumers, stimulating them to decrease their spending. | | | Money Supply is the current total supply of money in circulation in the whole economy of the country. | | | An increase in money supply stimulates increased spending because it puts more money in the hands of consumers which makes them feel wealthier, stimulating them to increase their spending. |

| | Glossary: Money Supply |
| | Money supply is measured in a variety of ways, but the most widely cited measurements are M1, M2 and M3 -- the "monetary aggregates." M1 is chiefly currency in circulation and bank checking accounts. | | | The Fed stopped targeting money supply growth and started targeting the fed funds rate because, it explains, "the combination of interest rate deregulation and financial innovation disrupted the historical relationships between M1 and the objectives of monetary policy." In other words, the development of new types of financial products complicated measurement of the money supply. | | | Changes in demand for money (loan demand) were allowed to influence the fed funds rate. |

| | What Has Government Done to Our Money? The "Proper" Supply of Money |
| | Since money is gold, the total supply of money is the total weight of gold existing in society. | | | First, the total stock, or supply, of money in society at any one time, is the total weight of the existing money-stuff. | | | Similarly, in the case of money, "demand" means the various goods offered in exchange for money, plus the money retained in cash and not spent over a certain time period. |

| | It controls the money supply through its control over the, within limits, percentage in reserves member banks are required to hold behind their deposit liabilities and by controlling the amount of reserves actually available to member banks. | | | It was expected that increases and decreases in the money supply would be "automatic." Private banks would continue to increase—and extinguish—money by making loans to business in their locality, under safeguards prescribed by the law. | | | Since the real purpose of money is to make it easier for a nation to produce real goods and services, easier to divide the income from the production, and easier to save and invest for the future, the money system should be designed and controlled in ways which serve these purposes best. |

| | money supply Definition |
| | The total supply of money in circulation in a given country's economy at a given time. | | | The money supply is considered an important instrument for controlling inflation by those economists who say that growth in money supply will only lead to inflation if money demand is stable. | | | However, targeting an unsuitable narrow money supply measure may lead to a situation where the total money supply in the country is not adequately controlled. |

| | Over time, however, new bank laws and financial innovations blurred the distinctions between commercial banks and thrift institutions, and the classification scheme for the money supply measures shifted to one based on liquidity and on a distinction between the accounts of retail and wholesale depositors. | | | The Federal Reserve System and public- and private-sector analysts have long monitored the growth of the money supply because of the effects that money supply growth is believed to have on real economic activity and on the price level. | | | The original money supply measures totaled bank accounts by type of institution. |

| | Then there would actually be an increase in money supply to the extent that economic capacity actually grew; the seigneury from this should not be treated as a windfall gain but rather put into a sort of open ended sinking fund to cover any fluctuations by pulling in money if inflation loomed. | | | A decentralization of moneys would also mean that some money would tend to be better than others based on the soundness of the bank and the bank's investments. | | | Since payment of taxes is dictated in denominations of the state's money, an alternative would need to be proposed whereby taxes would be remitted in sound money. |

| | The first thing that comes to mind is that the Fed doesn't have total control over the money supply, so its decline may be a reflection, rather than a cause, of a weakening in economic activity. | | | There's a school of economic thought that considers a decline in the money supply -- such as the one that's been taking place over the past two months -- a sign that the Fed is tightening monetary policy. | | | They also think that a shrinking money supply -- intended or not -- has a major effect on the economy and the financial markets if it lasts long enough. |
